Abstract
Background. Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a malignant disease of lymphoid tissue, which is characterised by the appearance of giant Reed—Berezovsky—Sternberg cells in the lymph nodes affected by the pathological process. These cells can be detected through microscopic examination. Currently, HL is one of the most treatable oncological diseases. In recent years, the recovery rate in patients suffering from this pathology has increased (70–90%), almost reaching the recovery rate in patients starting treatment at the early stages. Given the above, the quality of life in these patients during remission is becoming more important, since most of them are women of childbearing age planning to have children. In this connection, it is of great importance to study the course of pregnancy and labour, along with their effect on the possibility of a relapse, in such patients.
Aim. In this paper, we set out to analyse the course of pregnancy and childbirth in a patient suffering from HL.
Materials and methods. We studied the medical records (including medical history and pregnancy records) of a patient whose pregnancy occurred in the setting of a severe oncological pathology – HL in remission. The patient underwent a thorough examination and the baby was successfully delivered.
Result. The outcome of pregnancy and childbirth for the patient and foetus was studied in the setting of a severe oncological pathology (HL in remission).
Conclusion. The pregnancy of a woman suffering from a serious oncological pathology (HL in remission) was prolonged to full-term and successfully completed. The patient was able to experience the joy of motherhood for the third time.
